The (not so old) Crocks Cafe

Magenta

Hi everybody today.

I don't often see the daylight!

I finally managed to go out yesterday, something I rarely do, my God the Fibro is now making sure it has its revenge! I love it when the doctors say just do some gentle pacing!! they must have servants to look after them.
I am here for my nice big mug of dark choclate with whipped cream on the top.(puts virtual money on virtual counter)
I would love to have a cat(horribly allergic), I think I will have a nice virtual dog.

Horace, you mention Kings Heath, I am not too far from there, well about 30 stops on the number 27 bus that is, I have never been there to shop tho'.

Hugs and kisses to all of you xxx

Magenta.

I only drive there - I go to Lidl in Silver Street and that's about it. I think the No. 49 stops there but am really not sure (the only buses I know are the 62, 63 as they stop outside, the 144 and the 82).

Brrr... Its been a bloomin' cold day. I have spent the whole day planting a hedge and knocking in stakes and putting plastic tubes over the seedlings. One of my chums is something to do the guides and they have a huge campsite in south birmingham so she was telling me how they have 1000 trees to plant this weekend that have been donated by the Woodland Trust. Funny, not many girl guides there but there were some brownies in the morning and the rest of the numbers were made up with guide and scout leaders:rolleyes: My mate took the tiddle out of me because I was wearing my wellies, I had a t-shirt and sweatshirt on, a huge coat and my skiing neckwarmer and ski hat (inside my wellies I had got some long woolly ski socks too). We are definitely in for more snow because there was snow lying under the hedges (the farmers used to say that if there was snow left under the hedge then we were due to get some more - they were usually right).

I am volunteering again tomorrow so hopefully I will get a certificate to say that I planted a tree:D It sure beats going to the gym but now I seem to be really cold, can't wait for a long wallow in the bath either:D

Hope everyone is ok today?

Awwwwwww, cafe closed early tonight, was looking forward to a hot chocolate, (with marshmallows n cream please) and some good company. Never mind, I'll have an early night too and ready myself for my youngest grandson's 2nd birthday tomorrow.
Night all, sweet dreams.

good grief, I must be the night shift!! I've had a busy day (though not as busy as you Horace!) and came home and fell asleep on the sofa this evening, so of course now I'm WIDE awake and badly in need of a cup of tea and a doughnut

Tomorrow peeps! Goodnight, sleep safe everyone

Sunday morning, yawn .....

I think a deep clean is needed for the cafe, so I'll get stuck in - mind you I'll have to tip the cats out first....

Right, starting with the windows ......

M.E.

I've been helping altocumulus clear the Halloween cobwebs and spookies from behing the curtains in the virtual cafe...

so orders for everyone?

By the way the handbell concert was fabulous, hope you all enjoyed the virual version...

Warm toast and marmalade for the reluctant risers.. in bed of course...

altocumulus

Just push the mop over that corner M.E. then we've finished ready for the lunchtime rush .... Ta ....

Roast beef and yorkshires? Oh, and a glass of nicely chilled pinot grigio, please, seeing as it's Sunday
